Here is a great video for you young fly fisherman that is struggling to learn the Double Haul.

In this episode of RIO's "How To" series, RIO brand manager Simon Gawesworth shows how easy it is to learn the double haul - a highly useful casting skill that will give you more distance, greater line control and more effect in a tough wind. The Double Haul is an essential skill to master for anyone who wants to fish in saltwater.

These are links to writings I stored on my forum blog. Streamer fishing equates to steelhead fishing and for many it is that time of year. I am not telling you that I am an expert but I would go as far as saying I have done a lot of it.

The articles are in no specific order, they are posted as I locate them so you'll have to click and look to see if it is of interest.

Great insight from Silver. Great advice there. Underwater - film - surface is the progression I always make for early morning mayflies, and evening caddis on our local waters. Same thing when hatches are coming off during the day in the early part of the year. Sparkle pupae / soft hackle then x or x2 caddis then elk/deer/grizzly caddis to finish it off. Same kind of thing for mayflies, usually soft hackle - parachute - something on surface.
